Hey again guys and gals, I'm getting set to purchase a new radiator this week but sort of want to beat a dead horse first (sorry, I know).
I was going to just stick with the stock 5/8inch core unit, but I know I will be doing forced induction soon so I want to get something better; if I can, w/o having to mod TOO much other things.
Anyway, can someone look at my attachment of radiators (03 Monte 5/8, vs 04 Impala 7/8 police vs 98 GTP 1")? All of the radiator are similar in size but what I am unsure of is the differences in mount type (flange vs saddle vs pin?)?
Also, fittings for the trans cooler may be different, correct, can't I just remove and replace fitting from my old rad to new?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The stock fan shroud is close to the SLP headers already.

While doing a extra parts inventory I found some emblems that came with my setup but we never put on..:laugh.. This is my next project (to find a place to mount these).
On another note, the SS kit may be coming sooner rather than later, if ZZP puts it on their BF sale. I think I'll run that for a while until I'm in a position to pull the engine and do a full build. There is a shop here locally that will balance the crank and strengthen the crank but that is truly more than I can take on right now.

Good info, my buddy also told me about silicone fans (iirc) and flexilite fans, but I still need to figure out which core to get.. I'm hoping the radiator shop I'm going to sat has at least 2 to compare and see if I can/will to do the work.

And I think the stock fans actually do most of the work of holding in the radiator. When I switched I had to put in the radiator hold downs out of an intrigue/grand prix as well.

Those wouldn't be bad either. I'm pretty budget conscious though, and got mine both for about $15 at the junk yard and they work awesome. My fans actually hit my SSAC headers before, I've got at least a half inch now, if not a little more.

Just got clarification from Henry;
"It will come with the fittings as we would make sure to get you the specific one made for the Monte Carlo. When ordering just specify in the notes section exactly your year, make, and model vehicle and we'll make sure you get the correct item."

I can ask for you; I've been shooting quick emails back and forth, I'm sure they could, its really only the fittings that are an issue; the fans could be improvised easily.
